Local wildlife experts, organizations and wildlife rehabilitators are presenters at these programs. Discover the various types of animals that live locally and all over the world. Find out what they eat, how they hunt, where they live, and how they benefit the local ecosystems.
Fall Festival featuring Creepy Crawlies Around the Rock โ€” Join Nature's Educators at their popular educational, Halloween-themed animal booth! The booth will include some of Castle Rock's creepiest creatures, such as snakes, toads and other invertebrates.
